There's nothing here we should fear but the nothing
Nothing meant could prevent our arrival
But somehow here in the sun where there's something
Like smoke that chokes our revival
We both know we're nowhere near it
But we won't go and do what's right
We both know we need to hear it
So why don't we talk in straight lines
There were times when the lines that you should have heard
Ended torn in a swarm of directions
We lose so much when we touch up the right words
That we get lost in the cost of perfection
We both know we're nowhere near it



But we won't go and do what's right
We both know we need to hear it
So why don't we talk in straight lines
So why don't we talk in straight lines
Why don't we talk in straight lines
So why don't we talk in straight lines

We both know we're nowhere near it
But we won't go and do what's right
We both know we need to hear it
So why don't we talk in straight lines
So why don't we talk in straight lines
